When I have a life problem, the first thing I do is find all the best books on the subject. Being single felt like a problem to me, so I read quite a few books on the topic of singleness, relationships, and dating. Not all of them were great. Actually, a few of them were pretty crappy. However, there are …
Welcome to the (actual) last blog post before my little blog Sabbatical. This month has been a very varied month book-wise, but I’ve really enjoyed every book I’ve read. The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt I first heard of Jonathan Haidt in a theology class I took in the Fall of …
Last week’s post focused on the two main ways that we read the Bible: for study and for devotion. We pointed out that both are important. Really, they’re both related to each other too. Now that we’ve looked at Bible reading form a 10,000 foot view, let’s focus in a bit. If I want to read my Bible on …
The theme of June reading was, in a word, Narnia. This month, I read through all seven of the Narnia books, except The Magicians Nephew, which I finished in May. It was actually a great reading choice for a couple of reasons, mainly: 1) These books are awesome 2) These books are deeper than I remembered and 3) These books …
May has been a really busy month for me. I went to Ohio for my sister’s graduation the first weekend, we closed on our house the second weekend, and we’ve been working on said house the other weekends. It’s been a little crazy. Because of that, I’ll be honest and say I haven’t been as on top of my blog …

Good news everyone: I actually was able to finish three books this month! Actually, I was very close to four, but didn’t quite finish the fourth one in time. It …
I’ll be honest. This month, I was a little bit slack in my reading. I only ended up finishing two books. There were a couple of reasons for this. My husband and I have been looking at houses, which has taken some of my prime weekend reading time. It’s been a really busy month at work. Also, we downloaded Roller …
It’s the last day of the month which means that it’s time for an update of the books I’ve read this month. February was a good book month. I actually finished more than my goal of 3 books. This month I finished four books (though one of them only partially counts, explanation below). Once again, I’ve included links to …
If you’ve ever seen the movie The Help, you would remember Aibileen. Aibileen is a black maid/nanny for a white family. Her daily job is to care for a little white girl. The girl’s mother doesn’t know how to care for her. She clearly has little interest in doing so personally. She’s also disappointed in the little girl’s looks. She’s …
